If I were asked to rank these 4 libraries in order of importance (greatest
to least), I would say
gc
gl
gsl
fftw
The FFTW library is really just a frill as far as asy is concerned.
Probably no one else is even using it in asy, and although I use FFTW
extensively in other scientific computing applications, I have only
used it from asy in one application.
If it helps, I can always include a shared i386 TL binary for linux in the
CTAN tarball, but since this is by far the easiest platform to build for,
I presume this isn't causing any problems anyway on up-to-date systems.
My build would be just like the non-TL binary within this tarball:
http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=120000&sel_platform=16549
The only difference with the TL version is that sysdir defaults to "", just
as if one typed
asy -sysdir=""
You can even use this to test my non-TL build under TL to see which of your
build systems it would run on out of the box...
